Thank you DB...
knowledge is power, and we like powerful things, just like kicks are powerful then it follows that knowledge about kicks = powerful kicks!
Interesting...
I've always found you need to give Kicks quite a bit of attack (e.g. at least 25ms) so that they have any impact. Otherwise they sound a little flat to my ears.
Perhaps I need better monitors.
(Or perhaps it's just my background in breaks shining through ;))
As I said these settings are not set in stone
You can back the attack off a little to allow some of the nose of the kick to come through.
cool, i rite them down, gonna hav a blast with them. i just been using presets. so cool bit of info :clap:
Thanks for sharing.
nice on, u da man :clap:
Will check it out. Thank you.
Threshold probably depends on how loud the actual kick sample is to start with ... you using a kick normalised to 0db?
Guess the attack depends on how attacky the kick you have in the first place is too ... ?
God I'm up early.
I might go back to bed.
This is stupid. I should be alssseeeeep.
cool...ill have to try this out
thanks Steve i'll be experimenting with these today!
Good man Steve thankayou!!
do you guys compress kick samples with bass in one channel compressor, or you compress both of them separatly with 2 stand-alone compressors??
both(witchever sounds best)or side chain
you mean 2 channels 2 compressors?
Thanks DB.
The whole compression thing seems to be coming together a little better at home now, as theory + practical part of using compression. Before, I understand the theory but having not practised it much (and when i did was like errrr ?? ) Just proves what sitting on your computer all weekend instead of going out can do.
Yeah right... we all know you're a dork and have no friends..Quote:
